7.2 Inappropriate charging environments and solutions

The hot and cold environments described below can cause charging to enter standby or suspension without
fully charging the battery.
• Summertime charging standby/suspension
If charging in a location receiving direct summer sunlight or immediately after riding, the battery
charger might enter charging standby (all four battery capacity indicator lamps flash slowly). See point
7.5 on page 24. This is to automatically stop charging in order to protect the battery from exceeding the
specified temperature while charging. You can avoid charging suspension by starting to charge with the
battery cold or at a room temperature of 15 – 25 °C. If charging suspension occurs, move the battery
charger to a cool location to reduce the charging standby time.
• Wintertime charging standby/suspension
Charging standby will occur if the temperature is 0 °C or lower. If charging is started and the
temperature drops below this level due to late-night cooling or other factors, charging is suspended and
standby mode is entered to protect the battery. In such cases, restart charging at an indoor location with
a temperature of 15 – 25 °C.
• Noise on televisions/radios/computers
Charging next to televisions, radios, or similar appliances might cause static, flickering images, and
other interference. If this occurs, recharge in a location further away from the television or radio (such
as in another room).
